TOLEDO, OH (WTOL/AP) - City leaders in Toledo say it's costing more to keep drinking water free from toxins in Lake Erie and other contaminants in the water.
And they're warning that could force a water rate increase.
According to the city council's agenda for its Tuesday meeting, another $3 million is needed on top of the $6 million already spent on chemicals to treat the water.
The agenda says that the additional money is necessary "to provide economic and uninterrupted water service to the public."
